| Melanie Phillips writing on October 14th of this year in the UK Spectator. | |
| Short little paragraph. | |
| You really have to pinch yourself here. | |
| A Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded, and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists, and Chicago mobsters is on the verge of becoming president of the United States. | |
| And apparently it's considered impolite to say so. | |
| Melanie Phillips writing in the UK Spectator on October 14th of 2008. | |
| Michelle Obama, by the way, back in the news. | |
| She introduced her husband in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. | |
| She told a crowd, they say there's a crowd of 60,000 there, that despite his self-confidence, he needs their help. | |
| And this is this is what she said about the Messiah. | |
| She said, Look at he thinks he can really do anything. | |
| He does with his own power and will. | |
| He can fix it, she said, praising Obama for creating one of the most powerful political organizations in history. | |
| And I got I read that, and I said, Well, what has he fixed? | |
| Tell me one thing he's fixed, and then it hit me. | |
| Perhaps he's fixed an election. | |
| But other than that, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what he's fixed. | |
| By the way, before we get going with all the rest of the program today, was in Indianapolis uh over the weekend, their Saturday night with dinner from uh with dinner for some friends and went to the uh football game, the Colts and the Patriots last night, who's a guest of uh WIBC, our blowtorch affiliate there, and Jeff Smoleon of Emis uh broadcasting had just a great, great time. | |
| Fabulous game, fabulous time, a lot of a lot of fun people and met the mayor. | |
| This you remember the mayor of Indianapolis who he guy had $50,000. | |
| He was running against a guy with a liberal democrat with millions in the war chest. | |
| This guy came back and won on a uh just a great platform of low taxes so for this stunned everybody. | |
| And uh we're walking in last night. | |
| We uh we went down the tunnel, we uh we went parked next to the Patriots buses, and uh and we're walking in, and I I I see this guy and his wife that are decked out in Colts jerseys, and the wife starts waving at me and pointing. | |
| I just I just waved and kept walking, and they finally caught up. | |
| It was the mayor. | |
| It was the mayor and his wife of uh of Indianapolis. | |
| I met I met Governor Mitch Daniel, he was there too. | |
| Uh, supposed to win today. | |
| But we uh we just said we had a fabulous time, and uh the the we got a police escort, a single motorcycle police escort to the airport after the game so that we could get back at 3 a.m. | |
| We rolled into the compound at 3 a.m. and we're going back to Washington after the game, uh the show this afternoon for the Steelers Redskins tonight. | |
| And we'll get back about three o'clock tomorrow morning at the same time. | |
| But it's a blast. | |
| It's it's just uh it's an honor, it's a joy to be able to do these kind of things. | |
| Well, I did enjoy the footballs. | |
| It was a great, great, great football Sunday. | |
| It's not so good if you're a cowboys fan, obviously, sturdily, still doesn't understand uh what's what's going on. | |
| All right, look. | |
| Uh ladies and gentlemen, we're we're down here to the uh to the well we did the nutcrack in time, and and they I'm watching the media today. | |
| They're already discussing Obama's second term. | |
| They're already discussing what he's gonna be doing in his second term after he wins in 2012. | |
| The effort here to suppress your vote is just astounding. | |
| It is more intense than I have ever seen. | |
| It's over, there's no chance. | |
| I mean, I'm seeing electoral college predictions of 338 for Obama and uh and 200 for McCain. | |
| But I look at the polls, the Mason Dixon Battleground State polls yesterday, and Obama leads in All of them, but there are a tremendous percentage of undecided. | |
| I was also watching CNBC this morning during show prep, John Harwood was on there, and he was talking about poll numbers, and he made an interesting point that the uh early voting numbers are not going for Obama like people expected. | |
| He's up by about eight. | |
| Now, they're not counting the vote, at least they're not supposed to be counting the votes. | |
| Somebody asked me this over the weekend. | |
| Oh rush. | |
| How do they know what the early voting is? | |
| They're just tabulating Republicans and Democrats. | |
| They're assuming that Democrats are voting Obama and Republicans are voting McCain and they're and they're uh uh the simply doing that. | |
| And then I I think there's some form of exit polling going on with early voters, too. | |
| I have seen things that look like exit polls of early voters. | |
| And if I'm right, and I usually am about these things, there's something very strange because they list undecided in early polling. | |
| I don't know where they're coming up, but anyway, Harwood says that they ought to be up but because the energy, all these Democrats, and we've seen the stories here in Florida, but all the early voting here that most of them are Democrats, so excited. | |
| That that's the template. | |
| You know, that's the narrative. | |
| These people so excited to elect Obama that they just can't wait. | |
| But in national uh averages, when you add all these things up, uh he's only up by eight in terms of early voting. | |
| And the thought was that early voters are the most enthusiastic. | |
| These should largely be Obama supporters. | |
| If he's only winning by eight in this group of early voters, it could mean bad things for him. | |
| This j I'm not saying this. | |
| John Harwood on CNBC. | |
| I think that some of the drive-bys are starting to do a CYA, like Brokaw uh and Charlie Rose did. | |
| There's a couple other reporters now. | |
| We've got a story. | |
| Guy's been following Obama for a year and a half, eighteen hours a day, says he doesn't know who he is. | |
| So they're starting to cover if you miss the grab audio soundbite number one. | |
| If you miss this, this was from last Thursday night on PBS, Charlie Rose interviewing Tom Brokaw, the moderator of Meet the Press, and it's a montage, but it is still amazing. | |
| I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is. | |
| No, I don't either. | |
| He really sees where China is. | |
| We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy. | |
| I don't really know. | |
| And do we know anything about the people who are advising them? | |
| You know, it's an interesting question. | |
| He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational speeches. | |
| I don't know what books he's read. | |
| What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama? | |
| There's a lot about him we don't know. | |
| And as we said to Tom Broco last week, we'll dispatch a reporter. | |
| Call one of the reporters you've had on the plane and do a reporting job on Barack Obama. | |
| They're covering themselves because if he turns out to be this wild Marxist leftist, I mean we're gonna get you know what Clinton folks, we had a moderate liberty. | |
| Juan Williams is saying this. | |
| Juan Williams say, we're gonna find out who liberals really are if Obama wins the presidency. | |
| Uh compared to Clinton, who's the moderate, uh, this guy is off the charts far left, Juan Williams uh saying so today. | |
| If you happen to live in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, uh Colorado, and even parts of Indiana, Barack Obama wants the coal industry in which you work to go bankrupt. | |
| He intends to bankrupt it. | |
| He also intends to cause skyrocketing energy prices. | |
| He made these comments earlier in the year with an editorial board meeting uh that was recorded of the San Francisco Chronicle. | |
| Their chronicle uh, well, uh Chronicle says they reported it. | |
| They put it on their website. | |
| Uh the newspaper story they did on this did not comment on any of this. | |
| You get to the point, though. | |
| I mean, people I uh people voting for Obama, I don't think they care anything about it. | |
| I don't I don't think that the substance of who he is is relevant. | |
| Otherwise, he wouldn't be above thirty percent. | |
| He's a symbol of something to a lot of people. | |
| Uh and and they're they're just he's a blank slate, and they are making of Obama whatever they want him to be. | |
| And there, if he wins this, there is going to be some severe buyer's remorse, and we see these guys in the media, they're covering their rear end because if this guy goes far left, they don't want any blame for it. | |
| Oh, well, we didn't know. | |
| We really didn't know who Obama was. | |
| Uh I only read uh written two books as aspirational speech. | |
| We really don't know. | |
| I didn't know much about him. | |
| Who is the heroes are we don't know who his mentors are, we don't know anything about him. | |
| Uh After they've pushed him uh all of this time, here is Obama. | |
| This is from January of this year, in an editorial board meeting with the San Francisco Chronicle. | |
| What I've said is that we would put a uh cap and trade system in place that is more that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody's else is out there. | |
| So if somebody wants to build a coal power plant, they can. | |
| It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're gonna be charged a huge sum for all that uh greenhouse gas that's being emitted. | |
| He's gonna bankrupt them. | |
| He's got a cap and trade program, Al Gore. | |
| This is to save the planet. | |
| Uh he's he's gonna bankrupt them by by definition, they will bankrupt. | |
| But that's not by itself the single most damaging aspect of what he said. | |
| This is. | |
| When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, you know, You know, under my plan uh of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. | |
| So he wants to he wants folks, he wants to bankrupt the coal industry. | |
| Now, I've I've never seen, I've never seen a presidential candidate actually admit that he wants to destroy elements of the U.S. economy. | |
| He did, he said it, and now he wants skyrocketing gas prices. | |
| You remember when gas or energy prices, do you remember when um uh gasoline spiked up to four bucks? | |
| The only thing Obama said about it was uh the only thing that bothers me is how quickly we got it up there. | |
| But he didn't do one damn thing to lower gasoline prices. | |
| He didn't care that they were that high. | |
| His only stated concern was that uh they got up there so quickly. | |
| Here he is, same interview with the San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Board, January 2008. | |
| Regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. | |
| That will cost money, they will pass that money on to consumers. | |
| If you can't persuade the American people that, yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of a combination of more efficient energy usage and changing light bulbs and more efficient appliances, uh, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy that the economy will benefit. | |
| If we can't make that argument persuasively enough, you you you can uh you can be Lyndon Johnson. | |
| You can be the master of Washington. | |
| You're not gonna get that done. | |
| Well, but it's nice if you'd have tried to persuade us, sir. | |
| The thing is, he didn't try to persuade us about this. | |
| This is remained a stealth plan. | |
| I mean, we've known he's had a carbon trade plan, a carbon trade-off plan, would have all the liberal Democrats are touting that we didn't know that by design it's to bankrupt the coal industry, and we didn't know that by design it is to cause electricity rates to skyrocket. | |
| Now there's a new prime minister of Australia, Kevin Rood, and when he he was an environmentalist wacko and he signed on, he got elected, and then he went to this Kyoto meeting, Kyoto Proto, or this thing the thing they had in Bali with all these global warming nuts, and he he went to that meeting came back and said, Well, I can't do this, our electricity rates here will be to the point people can't afford electricity. | |
| This is what Obama wants to do. | |
| Folks, Obama doesn't just want to, in his distorted, perverted mind. | |
| He doesn't want to just equalize the United States. | |
| He doesn't, it's not just about spreading the wealth domestically. | |
| This guy has, I fear, as his number one desire to tear down the greatness of this country so that we are not better than any other nation. | |
| I think that is his aim. | |
| I I think you go back to Madeline Aldbright, we've played the soundbite. | |
| A lone superpower in the world is destabilizing. | |
| We either need to get rid of ourselves as a superpower or allow another one to uh to evolve. | |
| Lots to do today. | |
| Your phone calls as well. | |
| Sit tight. | |
| We've only just begun Carpenters, 1969. | |
| Don't go away. | |
| Your guiding light, times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, early voting, fraudulent voting, despair, and even the good times, Rush Limbaugh at the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies. | |
| So I'm watching Fox News this morning, because uh the all these candidates are out doing these last minute appearances, and Barack Obama's in Jacksonville, Florida. | |
| And I thought I saw something, but I wasn't quite sure because I just glanced at the screen and glanced away. | |
| Lo and behold, what I saw, I saw. | |
| This is a thug. | |
| This is not the first time this guy's done this. | |
| The staff knows what I'm talking about. | |
| I'm going to show you people on the ditto cam here in just a second. | |
| He did this to Hillary at one point. | |
| He's up there. | |
| See, this this guy, he does have a messianic complex. | |
| What he did, he took a moment to congratulate McCain on a tough fought presidential campaign by saying briefly, at the end of this race, I want to congratulate John McCain on the tough race that he's fought, and then he scratched his face with his middle finger. | |
| As he complimented McCain on the race that he ran, he flipped McCain the bird. | |
| Uh, ladies and gentlemen, those of you watching a ditto cam, I'm going to zoom in here now so that you can uh see this. | |
| There we are, very, very tight shut there. | |
| Uh, that is uh unmistakable. | |
| Is it is focused in there, Brian? | |
| Can you see this well enough? | |
| It's a television camera shot. | |
| Uh and it's it's it's I think the messianic complex that the guy has is such he's really mad that McCain would dare criticize him at all. | |
| He thinks Obama actually thinks that he has been treated unfairly, that his wife has been treated unfairly. | |
| While ignoring all of the uh typical hardball politics at his own campaign has dished out. | |
| Again, I you know, we we've had so much happen in this race that just stuns me. | |
| I don't know how a guy who has a brother living in a hut in Kenya and an aunt living in a slum in Boston gets away with saying he's his brother's keeper. | |
| I don't know how the guy gets away with claiming and making people believe that he's gonna fill our gas tanks and take care of their mortgages and make the world a better and safer place, and everybody's gonna have plenty. | |
| I don't understand how how how these things happen. | |
| And there are countless other examples. | |
| Now, this thing that just surfaced yesterday from the San Francisco Chronicle all the way back in January. | |
| I have to think, you know, just using my own common sense, I have to think this matters. | |
| But of course, it's nowhere to be found in the drive-by media. | |
| You cannot find this in the drive-by media. | |
| They are suppressing it, they're not talking about it. | |
| But those of you in West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, uh, even some mining in in Colorado, uh, a lot of other states and Indiana people that are affected by the coal mining industry here again, January of this year, Barack Obama to the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board. | |
| What I've said is that we would put a uh cap and trade system in place that is more that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there. | |
| So if somebody wants to build a coal power plant, they can. | |
| It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're gonna be charged a huge sum for all that uh greenhouse gas that's being emitted. | |
| He is promising that the coal industry will be bankrupted because they're not gonna be able to operate. | |
| This is the point you have to understand, they're not gonna be able to operate under his plan if it ever, if it ever comes to fruition. | |
| The only way could operate is if they just spend crazy amounts of money, which they won't do because uh it would bankrupt them. | |
| So he essentially wants to shut down the coal business. | |
| And he's also very much in favor of skyrocketing electricity rates. | |
| When I was asked earlier about uh the issue of coal, uh, under my plan uh of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. | |
| So prices, energy prices in general will necessarily skyrocket, necessarily skyrocket because of his plans. | |
| Now let's go back to an early Obama campaign ad touting his support for coal. | |
| I'm Barack Obama, and I approved this message. | |
| Barack originates from Chicago. | |
| But he came to Southern Illinois and seen the devastation and the loss of the jobs in this coal industry. | |
| Washington, D.C. is not listening to us. | |
| Barack understands it. | |
| In Illinois and the USA, Barack Obama helped lead the fire cooking to protect our environment and pay good paying American jobs. | |
| He's figured it out. | |
| It takes trust in each other to get the job done. | |
| A campaign ad that's a 100% lie based on what we know now. | |
| The coal industry is going to necessarily be bankrupted. | |
| Skyrocketing and electricity rates will happen necessarily, and he's running ads out there telling coal workers that he's going to protect their jobs. | |
| 200 million dollars for clean coal. | |
| Here's Biden, by the way. | |
| Well, we don't have time to squeeze Biden in. | |
| But Biden, you'll recall back on September 17th, it was during a rope line visit. | |
| He's shaking hands uh with people. | |
| There's an environmentalist wacko in the line, Carolyn um Alwerter, and she says wind and solar are flourishing here in Ohio, so why are you supporting clean coal? | |
| And old Biden goes, well, we're not supporting coal on clean coal. | |
| Let the Chinese build clean coal. | |
| The Obama campaign has done its best to hide its intent from everybody. | |
| Back in a second. | |
| Sarah Palin today on the campaign trail and yesterday too. | |
| Why is the audio tape of Obama promising happily to bankrupt the coal industry just now surfacing? | |
| Who knows, folks? | |
| I mean, I've the San Francisco Chronicle people are they're really on the defensive today. | |
| They've got stories up by Carla Marinucci. | |
| We didn't suppress anything. | |
| It was there. | |
| We put it on a website. | |
| They didn't highlight it. | |
| It didn't, I guess it didn't strike the editors when Obama talks about bankrupting the coal industry. | |
| I guess I get, I guess the people in that meeting, it didn't strike them as anything strange. | |
| They're in San Francisco. | |
| Environmentalist wancos probably hate coal. | |
| But you know, can you imagine if that tape, and I'm tired of playing this game, but I'm tired of the if game. | |
| And we're all going to pay for this. | |
| You know, I mean it's it's it's one thing to try to focus here on the San Francisco Chronicle and why or whether they suppress the tape, but that's to miss the point. | |
| The point is Obama said it. | |
| The news is Obama said it. | |
| That's what has to get out there. | |
| It's too late, you can berate the chronicle all you want. | |
| I'll tell you this, though. | |
| If that tape had come out before any of these debates, can you imagine I mean I dare say the race in some of these states would have Obama trailing and playing catch up? | |
| No, I am not going to start assigning motives to the chronicle because they got these the article up there defending their uh usage of this. | |
| Oh, we put it up, it was on the website, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | |
| But it's too much of this going on. | |
| The LA Times has a damning video tape of Obama applauding a Jew hater with some of his Marxist anti-American friends in 2003, and they won't air that. | |
| Uh, it's it's there's just been too much of this stuff going on, and as such, the American people are making the most uninformed decision they have ever made in the at least in the era of modern media. | |
| I mean, back in the old days, before there was television and radio, it was harder for campaigns to get their message out, and it was all over the place. | |
| But since advent of modern media, I I think it's it's easy to say that this is probably the most uninformed electorate electorate about a particular presidential candidate that we've ever had. | |
| And you can you can prove this to yourself by walking around and talking to people planning on voting for this guy. | |
| And they don't know diddly squat when you tell them. | |
| Not only do they not know, they think you're making it up, and they don't care. | |
| Because he's purely symbolic to all of them. | |
| All right, here's uh here's let's see, here's Biden. | |
| Now, this is on the rope line. | |
| This is remember now, just played for you an ad earlier in the campaign, Obama touting he's gonna save the coal industry. | |
| That ad came out after he told the chronicle in January that he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry. | |
| By the way, if if if you are listening to this uh program, and I'm sure you are in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio and West Virginia and Colorado. | |
| I'm not just throwing this phrase around lightly. | |
| Bankrupt your industry. | |
| He wants you out of work. | |
| No, Rush, no, he didn't say that. | |
| Folks, When you want to bankrupt an industry, you put it out of business. | |
| And when something goes out of business, why do I feel like I'm in the first grade here? | |
| When something goes out of business, there aren't any jobs at that business. | |
| Not in business. | |
| Bankrupt the coal business. | |
| Oh, we're not gonna do that, Roger. | |
| He said it. | |
| He said it happily. | |
| He said it firmly. | |
| And he followed it up with excitement over skyrocketing electricity rates as a result. | |
| So not only, I mean, we're all gonna end up as Anzatuto or whatever name is, we're all gonna be in hands of Tutti. | |
| If the guy gets his way. | |
| So here's here's timeline. | |
| January, I want to bankrupt the coal industry. | |
| I love skyrocketing electricity prices. | |
| Runs an ad, I'm gonna save the coal industry. | |
| Too many jobs will be lost. | |
| I'm here for the little guy. | |
| Biden on the campaign trailer, rope line, September 17th, guess the question. | |
| Wind and solar flourishing here in Ohio, so why are you supporting coal? | |
| We're not supporting coal coal. | |
| Guess what? | |
| China's building two every week, two dirty coal plants. | |
| And it's polluting the United States. | |
| It's causing people to die. | |
| The first guy to introduce a global warming bill with me 22 years ago. | |
| The first guy to support solar energy is me, 26 years ago. | |
| It came out of Delaware. | |
| But guess what? | |
| China's gonna burn 300 years of bad coal unless we figure out how to clean their coal up because it's gonna ruin your lungs. | |
| There's nothing we can do about it. | |
| No coal plants here in America. | |
| Build them if they're gonna build them over there. | |
| Make them clean because you're killing to leave the coal industry to the ChICOMs, and we're gonna make noises. | |
| We're gonna like the ChaiCom's gonna listen to us. | |
| Hey, hey, Hu Jintao, clean up your coal, Biden. | |
| Hey, buddy old pal, clean up your coal. | |
| Stand up. | |
| Who? | |
| Let's uh let's everybody see oh, you don't tell a communist stand up. | |
| Communists told you to sit down. | |
| Sarah Palin yesterday on the campaign trail. | |
| This is in Marietta, Ohio. | |
| In the 11th hour, an audio tape surface that you you've got to hear. | |
| Ohio and West Virginia, you will appreciate this. | |
| Listen in, you're gonna hear Barack Obama talking about bankrupting the coal industry. | |
| He explained. | |
| Now a couple points on this. | |
| One is that the tape just now is servicing just a couple days before the election. | |
| He said that, sure, if the industry wants to build new coal-file power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry, and he's comfortable letting that happen. | |
| Not just comfortable, Governor Palin. | |
| He's excited about it. | |
| It's part of the plan. | |
| It's part of the plan. | |
| Well, folks, when can you last remember a presidential candidate saying he's gonna destroy an industry? | |
| I've I can't first remember it. | |
| I I do remember various presidential candidates saying I want to close the Department of Energy, or I'm gonna close the Department of Education or whatever. | |
| I can recall that. | |
| Let's pare down the size of the government, but I have never ever heard a presidential candidate who is leading in the polls say he wants to bankrupt one of the foundation building blocks of the American economy. | |
| Uh yeah, he could have picked the porn. | |
| That's right. | |
| I've never heard a presidential candidate say he wants to shut down the porn industry. | |
| Never heard that. | |
| Not even the porn industry. | |
| Every industry in this country has been safe. | |
| Well, now wait a second. | |
| You know, I'm going, I'm I'm wrong. | |
| I'm forgive me. | |
| For the past six years, we have been hearing about how we've got to really harm Walmart. | |
| We've got to punish big drug. | |
| We have to punish big oil. | |
| We have to punish big energy. | |
| We have to punish Walmart. | |
| We have now they now I know they didn't say they wanted to bankrupt these industries, but they were on the enemies list. | |
| The Democrat Party has made it plain who their enemies are and their enemies are those things that comprise the engine and the fuel of capitalism. | |
| They do want to shut down, I take it back. | |
| They do want to shut down talk radio. | |
| That industry they do want to shut down. | |
| And They've made no bones about it. | |
| However, uh I've to shut down and bankrupt an entire industry and then to joyfully say that skyrocketing electricity prices will result. | |
| Here's more from Sarah Palin yesterday, Marietta, Ohio. | |
| John McCain and I, we tell you, those of you who understand the need for energy independence, we will not let that happen to the coal industry. | |
| Instead, we'll make clean coal a reality and to help power the American economy with clean coal technology. | |
| We're going to be looking to the hard working people of Ohio and West Virginia and Pennsylvania. | |
| Okay, now this Obama comment, ladies and gentlemen, about bankrupting the coal industry. | |
| This was not taken wildly out of context, by the way, as the Obama campaign is saying. | |
| His people are saying, hey, it took that wildly out of contact. | |
| We did not. | |
| It was not taken wildly out of context. | |
| And these this comment uh it they try to they try to get rid of any analysis of any comment what might harm him politically. | |
| The bankrupt comment, however, was totally consistent with everything he was saying. | |
| I read the transcript that was posted on the Chronicle website. | |
| And by the way, this is a when you listen to the whole meeting that he had with the editorial board, it goes about an hour or close to it. | |
| Also his statement that under him energy electricity prices will skyrocket, that's his intention. | |
| When Obama says that we in the United States are three-fourths of the world's population, or three or four percent rather of the uh population be used twenty-five percent of its energy. | |
| He intends to drive the oil, the coal, and gas industries out of business. | |
| He believes he can replace them with some yet to be developed, yet to be invented, widely practical replacement. | |
| He sees this as a way of bringing America's economy and wealth in line with the rest of the world. | |
| It is his intention to reduce our national wealth, folks. | |
| Make no mistake here. | |
| This is why he's wildly popular in the third world. | |
| Uh Obama brings a third world mentality of socialism, spreading the wealth around to this race. | |
| And that's why he's popular in Europe, popular in the in the third world. | |
| You have to destroy the rich, you have to destroy business, you have to remake the economy, remake it as the government deems fit, meaning him. | |
| I mean, he said, we're gonna he's he's out there saying we're going to fundamentally change this country. | |
| Fund and he means fundamentally change this country. | |
| He means the way we define the United States of America. | |
| And he's out there pandering to 47 million people who pay no federal income tax, but they do have the right to vote. | |
| He is telling these 47 million people who pay no income taxes that he's going to deliver them free health care. | |
| He's going to deliver them free college tuition. | |
| He's going to deliver free loans. | |
| He is telling them he will take the money for that from other people and give it to them. | |
| This is the kind of politics that's practiced in Venezuela. | |
| It is the kind of politics practiced in Cuba. | |
| It's what led to Castro's revolution. | |
| It's the kind of stuff that goes on in Zimbabwe with Mugabe and Argentina, so forth. | |
| It's appeal, you know, the strange thing about this, this is what's troubling to me, the appeal of this. | |
| I'm gonna take from these rich people, I'm gonna give it to you. | |
| You're finally gonna have free health care, free car, free college tuition, free loans. | |
| Genuinely the the the appeal uh works in countries that are very poor or have a large peasant class. | |
| So Obama knows this. | |
| So he has altered the message. | |
| Socialism is the same, but he speaks of helping the middle class rather than the poor. | |
| In Obama's uh worldview, the middle class is equal to the poorest of the poor in the world. | |
| They are victims. | |
| They have been made poor by a selfish, greedy uh rich class, and it's time to get even with those people. | |
| He speaks of cutting middle class taxes. | |
| He's not cutting any taxes in the middle class. | |
| Forty-seven million Americans are not paying income taxes. | |
| What he's really providing is massive welfare payments to the poor. | |
| Only now his welfare payments are gonna go to the middle class as well as the poor. | |
| And the reason for this, now brace yourselves. | |
| You can look around, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| You can look at anywhere you want to visit in your town, in your state, throughout this country, you find a place, a neighborhood, an area, or a single home where the family lives on welfare, and you will see a destroyed family. | |
| You will see a destroyed section of town. | |
| You will see a destroyed section of the state. | |
| Wherever people live on welfare, their lives are destroyed. | |
| Thus, I am warning you, the purpose that Obama has in mind is to destroy the middle class. | |
| When you destroy the middle class and you convince them they're better off on welfare, and that some magical guru is going to handle all their needs, then you control them. | |
| And then you own their votes forever. | |
| That's why Obama wants to bankrupt the coal industry. | |
| That is why his party speaks of eliminating 401ks. | |
| He don't want you having financial independence at all. | |
| And by the way, this is why taxes will be increased on people who earn under 120,000 and as little as 42,000 a year. | |
| He has already supported legislation that will do that. | |
| So your 401k will go. | |
| It'll become property of the government at 3% interest adjusted for inflation. | |
| The coal industry, if you work there is going to go bankrupt. | |
| The middle class is targeted here for welfare, a giant welfare state. | |
| And this, Obama says is necessary to make sure that we are equal with the rest of the world. | |
| Remember, the liberals do not look at inequality and try to raise those at the bottom. | |
| They punish those at the top. | |
| They try to make more people poor, not more people rich and financially independent, will be right back. | |
| I I don't I checked the email during the break. | |
| I don't believe that Russia, you really mean to say this? | |
| Obama wants to destroy the middle class? | |
| Yes. | |
| I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't mean it. | |
| It's not, it's not even an opinion. | |
| There's only one way Obama can achieve what he wants to achieve, and that's to do that. | |
| Now, I don't know how long, how far these Democrats in Congress are going to go along with him, but I think many of them are just like him. | |
| They're as far left as he is. | |
| We know they're power mongers. | |
| Pandering to 47 million people in this country who pay no federal income taxes, he wants to create a welfare state out of them. | |
| That's what he's calling tax cuts for them. | |
| The taxes to cut, they're going to be given welfare payments. | |
| Check your neighborhood. | |
| Check your state, check your town. | |
| When people check, check, check the slum that his aunt lives in. | |
| When people are living in welfare and on welfare, their lives are destroyed. | |
| And they have no hope. | |
| As I say, I mean, this kind of appeal generally works when people, you know, make 12 bucks a year. | |
| But to a country where $50,000 is a mean sound, this kind of stuff usually doesn't appeal. | |
| But it is apparently working. | |
| So the question is whether enough people who will be punished by Obama and his policies understand all this, given all the free and paid media employed to lie to them and to confuse them. | |
| Look at George McGovern. | |
| Now he was a liberal. | |
| He was very liberal. | |
| He wanted to increase taxes to pay for more welfare. | |
| He didn't make any bones about it, but he never doubted the greatness of the country or our system. | |
| He didn't claim to want to fundamentally change the country. | |
| He wanted to create jobs. | |
| He didn't want to destroy them by bankrupting the coal industry. | |
| He was just wrong. | |
| Even today, McGovern is in ads urging his fellow Democrats to reject Obama's efforts to eliminate the secret ballot in union elections. | |
| He is fearful of the fascism that that represents. | |
| But is anybody listening who should be listening? | |
| And let's be clear about something else here, folks, before I have to go for this break. | |
| If Obama is cold heartedly prepared to bankrupt the coal industry and destroy tens of thousands of coal miner jobs, what do you think his plans are for steel workers and for automobile workers for all the assembly line workers and so forth? | |
| What do you think his plans are for you when they want to take your 401k? | |
| We're talking a disaster. | |
| We're talking a disaster for coal. | |
| And Obama has been lying to people in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Virginia, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Colorado. | |
| He has been lying to the people. | |
| He is still lying to them. | |
| And they think, many of them, too many of them, think that he is their savior. | |
| Not only did Barry know about Anza Tuti, he didn't offer to help her, he accepted a $260 campaign contribution. | |
| But what a great guy, what a great nephew. | |
| He's gonna give her the 260 campaign contribution back, but no more. |
